We cannot love God unless we love each other.
We know him in the breaking of bread,
and we know each other in the breaking of bread,
and we are not alone anymore.
Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet too—
even with a crust—
where there is companionship.
We have all known loneliness,
and we have learned that
the only solution is love,
and that love comes with community.
~ Dorothy Day (1897-1980)
